London-headquartered broker SuperFly has secured a $7.1m investment from two funds based in the Dubai International Financial Centre Free Zone to continue development of its private aviation technology projects and also to expand its charter arm. This brings total funding raised so far to over $8 million, mainly through private placements.

The funding will be used to bring to market technology projects that include a Skyscanner-type booking app, currently in beta testing, that displays individual private jet seats alongside business class seats. It will also finance the opening of three new offices planned for later in the year in Monaco, Dubai and Moscow.
